Penny Hardaway fires four members of Memphis basketball staff

Penny Hardaway has fired four members of his coaching staff at Memphis.

Assistant coaches Rick Stansbury, Faragi Phillips and Jamie Rosser, as well as special adviser Demetrius Dyson, were all let go. Neither Hardaway nor the school provided a reason for the firings.

“I want to thank Rick, Faragi, Jamie and Demetrius for their service to the University of Memphis and our basketball program,” Hardaway said in a statement. “These are good coaches that I’ve worked with closely over the past few seasons, but I made the difficult decision to go in a new direction with our staff.
